In a tight race for one of three American League wild cards, the Red Sox won for the eighth time in 11 games.
Pirates third baseman Cam Devanney, who grew up about 45 minutes away in Amherst, New Hampshire, made his major league debut and went 0 for 3 with a walk.
Up next for the Red Sox, right-handed pitcher Brayan Bello is scheduled to start today against Cleveland. Meanwhile, the Pirates will be taking today off before beginning a three-game series at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday night, live on WESB sports.
